“The solution is as foreseeable as fabulous and follows therewith the style of classic gothic stories that slowly, stylishly and atmospherically tell a tragic story and at the end present an amazing plot twist. 'Szamota’s Mistress' is beautifully staged and finally again a ray of hope in film, nowadays.”
